Jimin is not only known by the nickname “Fairy Jimin” for his unreal beauty but also for his warm heart, always spreading kindness to everyone. ARMYs often emphasize that the male idol always uses beautiful, sweet words and thoughtful actions to treat them and the staff. He rarely uses informal language and always thinks carefully before speaking or acting.
RM has also never held back in praising his younger brother’s personality: “I could talk about this person all day. He’s very lovely. I think that’s his greatest αѕѕet. A lot of people like Jimin. He’s someone who always puts others before himself… He’s the pivot of the stage.”
Not to mention the colleagues who have worked and interacted with him. There is no one who has not been won over by the idol’s likable personality.
But the image of a kind idol who always knows how to care for others did not appear by chance—it was nurtured and formed early in him from childhood, even when he was just 5 years old. Recently on X, when a photo of Jimin from his kindergarten days was shared again, a story about his admirable action at that time also went viral.
Specifically, little Jimin went to the ρσℓι¢є station just to return exactly 50 cents he had α¢¢ι∂єитally found on the street. This is also a story confirmed by the idol himself in episode 12 of “Run BTS.”
Some fans have shared a photo of Jimin, smaller than his peers, with a touching but slightly “humorous” caption: “If you ever feel sad then just remember this 5 year old little jimin once went to the ρσℓι¢є station all by himself to return the 50 cents he found on the ground. Now you’re even sadder,” to emphasize his genuine, precious heart from the very beginning.
That act was not just about returning a wallet or some money to its owner—it carried honesty, responsibility, and admirable moral qualities, existing regardless of age. In a world where kind actions sometimes become rare, that innocence and obe∂ιєnce move fans deeply, even making them reflect on themselves.
This story also reminds fans of many similar moments of Jimin in the past. Jimin’s aunt once said that when he was 10 years old, after seeing a middle-aged man collecting cardboard boxes and packaging in the freezing winter weather, he told her with a worried look: "His feet must be burned from being soaked in water in such cold weather".
Touched by Jimin’s gaze, she gave him 10,000 won to buy rice and soup for the man. Afterwards, little Jimin was overjoyed and helped the man.
Or more recently, when the incident of comedian Lee Jin Ho going bankrupt due to gambling broke out, Jimin’s kindness shone once again. Jimin lent Lee 100 million KRW (around 74,000 USD) in 2022, with the loan documented through a promissory note. Lee promised to repay it after a week but did not as promised. When Jimin learned Lee had no intention of repaying, he was still generous and said it was fine to repay within 10 years.
No matter how many years pαѕѕ, no matter that he has become a global idol, he has never changed his inherent nature and has even spread love and taught valuable qualities to many people. To ARMY, Jimin is not only an idol on stage but also an admirable figure to look up to.
